Abstract
Abstract In this study, Schiff base monomer, 2-[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl-methylene)amino]phenol (2-PMAP) was obtained by condensation reaction of 2-aminophenol with pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde. This monomer was oxidized in an aqueous alkaline medium by NaOCl to obtain the corresponding oligomer (O-2-PMAP). The resulting compounds were characterized by 1 H- and 13 C-NMR, FT-IR, UV–vis, TG-DTA and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) techniques. Metal complexes compounds of O-2-PMAP were prepared with various metal salts, such as Cu (AcO) 2 ·H 2 O, Zn (AcO) 2 ·2H 2 O, Cd (AcO) 2 ·2H 2 O, Pb (AcO) 2 ·3H 2 O and Co (AcO) 2 ·4H 2 O. In addition to this, electrochemical copolymerization of O-2-PMAP with thiophene (Th), 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and pyrrole (Py) were performed onto indium/tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass plate. The spectral changes of the co-polymeric films were recorded in the range of the different potentials. The film stabilities of its EDOT and Py copolymers were determined. Consequently, it was realized that the copolymer films kept their stability for a long time.
